      <title>Renal Impairment Clinical Trials Now Enrolling at Avail Clinical Research in DeLand, Florida</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">*To learn more about these renal impairment clinical trials, please see: http://www.availclinical.com/trial/renal-impairment-2/ or contact them directly at 386-785-2404.</p><p>DeLand, FL -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 05/18/2015 --  Participating in a Renal Impairment Clinical Trial<br />
<br />
There are around 26 million Americans living with chronic kidney disease. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that as many as 1 in 10 adults have developed some level of renal impairment. There&apos;s a critical need for improved methods of prevention and treatment. The team at Avail is looking for adults in DeLand who&apos;d like to participate in a <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="renal impairment clinical trial" href="http://www.availclinical.com/clinical-trials/chronic-kidney-failure-renal-impairment/">renal impairment clinical trial</a>.<br />
<br />
The benefits of clinical trial participation include:<br />
- Access to premium medical care free-of-charge<br />
- Access to medical treatment without needing to have health insurance<br />
- The opportunity to take a more direct role in their health care<br />
<br />
Those who participate are not charged for any of the study-related care they receive during the research study. Any additional screenings or medication required during the clinical trial will be provided free of charge. Volunteers in Florida are eligible to receive compensation for their time and any travel required to participate.<br />
<br />
Signs and Symptoms of Kidney Disease and Renal Impairment<br />
<br />
The kidneys can experience impaired function without producing many noticeable symptoms at first. However the warnings signs will start to mount as waste products begin to build in the body. Unfortunately, it&apos;s still possible for <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="renal impairment symptoms" href="http://www.availclinical.com/clinical-trials/chronic-kidney-failure-renal-impairment/symptoms/">renal impairment symptoms</a> to be overlooked until end-stage kidney disease develops or complete kidney failure occurs.<br />
<br />
All of the following symptoms could signal the development of kidney disease:<br />
- Excess fluid in the body<br />
- Nausea and vomiting<br />
- Anemia<br />
- Weakness and fatigue<br />
- Loss of appetite<br />
- Urine output increase or decrease<br />
- Trouble sleeping<br />
- Severe muscle cramping or twitching<br />
- Mental impairment<br />
<br />
One of the most common causes of acute kidney injury in America is uncontrolled diabetes. This can lead to a condition known as diabetic nephropathy. <br />
<br />
It can cause:<br />
- Increased blood pressure<br />
- A loss of excess proteins in the urine<br />
- Higher cholesterol and triglyceride levels<br />
<br />
Blood sugar levels can drop as the kidney damage becomes more pronounced, since they won&apos;t be able to handle the excess insulin in the blood stream. The team at Avail is also enrolling for their diabetic nephropathy clinical trials.<br />
<br />
Qualifying for a Clinical Trial at Avail<br />
<br />
Avail Clinical Research is interested in hearing from anyone who would like to participate in a clinical trial. <br />
<br />
However, there are a few important things that research volunteers should understand:<br />
- The team is only enrolling people who have been diagnosed with some form of renal impairment, CKD or diabetic nephropathy<br />
<br />
- Health insurance is not a requirement in order to participate in a clinical trial<br />
<br />
- Participants are expected to comply with all study-related procedures<br />
<br />
- Persons must return a signed informed consent form in order to be eligible for enrollment<br />
<br />
Please note: Each participant reserves the right to exit the research study at any point they deem necessary. For more information, please see the <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="NIH&apos;s Patient Bill of Rights" href="http://clinicalcenter.nih.gov/participate/patientinfo/legal/bill_of_rights.shtml">NIH&apos;s Patient Bill of Rights</a>.<br />

      <title>Avail Clinical Research Is Conducting Renal Impairment Clinical Research Trials in DeLand, FL - Participants Needed</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Avail is conducting phase I studies of new therapies for renal impairment. Those who are interested can visit their website or call their clinic to learn more about participating in one their clinical research trials.</p><p>DeLand, FL -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 04/24/2015 --  *To learn more about these renal impairment clinical trials, please see: <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.availclinical.com/trial/renal-impairment-2/" href="http://www.availclinical.com/trial/renal-impairment-2/">http://www.availclinical.com/trial/renal-impairment-2/</a> or contact them directly at (386) 785-2404.<br />
<br />
Participating in a Renal Impairment Clinical Research Trial<br />
<br />
With about 26 million Americans living with chronic kidney disease, <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="therapies that can prevent renal failure" href="http://www.availclinical.com/clinical-trials/chronic-kidney-failure-renal-impairment/treatments/">therapies that can prevent renal failure</a> are desperately needed. These improved kidney treatments can&apos;t be developed properly without the data obtained in clinical research trials. The research team at Avail is always looking for people who would like to take a more direct role in their health care.<br />
<br />
The medications that save so many from having to rely on hemodialysis wouldn&apos;t be available if it weren&apos;t for extensive clinical studies. Unfortunately, this is not something that many people realize and clinics often find it difficult to meet their enrollment goals. Avail Clinical Research seeks to change this trend by educating more people in Central Florida about the benefits of clinical research trial participation.<br />
<br />
These benefits include:<br />
- Access to premium medical care at no charge to you<br />
- Access to medical treatment without needing to have health insurance<br />
- The opportunity to take a more direct role in their health care<br />
<br />
Participants are not charged for any of the study-related care they&apos;ll receive during the clinical research trial. Additional screenings and medication that&apos;s administered during the study will also be provided free of charge. Volunteers can receive compensation for the time and travel required.<br />
<br />
Renal Impairment Symptoms<br />
<br />
During the earliest stages, renal impairment won&apos;t produce many noticeable symptoms if any. Symptoms become more prominent as kidney failure progresses and waste products build up in the body. Most cases of renal impairment are caused by underlying conditions like high blood pressure (hypertension) and diabetes.<br />
<br />
Advanced stage kidney disease can produce the following symptoms:<br />
- Difficult, painful urination<br />
- Nausea and vomiting<br />
- Fatigue, weakness<br />
- Foamy urine<br />
- Pink, dark urine (blood in urine)<br />
- Increased need to urinate (especially at night)<br />
- Increased thirst<br />
- Swollen face, hands, abdomen, ankles, feet<br />
- Puffy eyes<br />
<br />
Major Risk Factors for Renal Impairment &amp; Kidney Disease<br />
<br />
It&apos;s estimated that nearly <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="1 in every 3 Americans is at risk" href="http://www.availclinical.com/news/its-national-kidney-month/">1 in every 3 Americans is at risk</a> for developing kidney disease-- most don&apos;t know it. These are the major factors that put people at greater risk:<br />
- Diabetes<br />
- High blood pressure (hypertension)<br />
- Being over the age of 60<br />
- Family medical history of kidney failure<br />
<br />
The following aren&apos;t considered "major" risk factors but are still notable:<br />
- Previous instances of kidney stones<br />
- Long-term smoking<br />
- Obesity<br />
- Cardiovascular disease<br />
<br />
Qualifying for a Clinical Trial at Avail<br />
<br />
The staff at Avail Clinical Research would love to talk with anyone who is interested in clinical trial participation. However, there are some things people should understand:<br />

- Health insurance is not a requirement in order to participate in a clinical trial<br />
- Participants are expected to comply with all study-related procedures<br />
- Persons must return a signed informed consent form in order to be eligible for enrollment<br />
<br />

      <title>Participate in a Gastroparesis Clinical Trial at Avail Clinical Research in DeLand, FL</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The staff at Avail Clinical Research is looking to enroll diabetics in the local area who have developed gastroparesis. Participating in a clinical trial can provide new insights into what causes this common gastric disorder and how to prevent it.</p><p>DeLand, FL -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 03/23/2015 --  *Want to learn more about the clinical trials being conducted at Avail&apos;s clinic in DeLand?

<br />
The Effects of Gastroparesis on Diabetics<br />
<br />
It&apos;s estimated that about 5 million Americans are living with this gastric disorder-- many of them diabetics. <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Gastroparesis causes delayed emptying of the stomach" href="http://www.availclinical.com/clinical-trials/gastroparesis/">Gastroparesis causes delayed emptying of the stomach</a>. This happens when the vagus nerve is damaged or stops working-- effectively slowing or even stopping movement of consumed food. <br />
<br />
Similar to <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="diabetic neuropathy" href="http://www.availclinical.com/clinical-trials/diabetic-neuropathy/">diabetic neuropathy</a>, diabetes can inflict irreparable damage to the vagus nerve when glucose levels are poorly managed. High blood sugar produces a chemical reaction in the nerves that damages the blood vessels carrying essential nutrients and oxygen. <br />
<br />
For anyone living with diabetes, gastroparesis will complicate things when left untreated. The most common symptoms of gastroparesis, include:<br />
<br />
- Heartburn or acid reflux<br />
- Reduced appetite<br />
- Abdominal pain<br />
- Abdominal bloating<br />
- Nausea and/or vomiting<br />
<br />
Gastroparesis Clinical Trials Need Volunteers<br />
<br />
With more than 26 million Americans living with diabetes, there are many will benefit from improved gastroparesis therapies. Clinical trials provide the data needed to develop better treatment strategies and prevention methods. Clinics like Avail Clinical Research are looking for people who want to take a more direct role in their health care. <br />
<br />
Most medications today wouldn&apos;t be available if it weren&apos;t for research studies like this one. Yet, it remains challenging for many clinics to meet their enrollment goals. Avail seeks to change this trend by educating more in DeLand, FL about the benefits of clinical trial participation. <br />
<br />
These benefits include:<br />
<br />
- Access to premium medical care free-of-charge<br />
- Access to medical treatment without needing to have health insurance<br />
- The opportunity to take a more direct role in their health care<br />
<br />
Study Qualification and Informed Consent Policy<br />
<br />
Anyone who applies for enrollment in a gastroparesis clinical trial will be screened against a set group of requirements. Inclusion criteria are unique to each research study and vary depending on the study protocol. Avail&apos;s skilled team of doctors screen all patients prior to enrollment. Each participant will also need to submit a signed informed consent form before they can participate. <br />
<br />
This last item is very important as it signifies the patient&apos;s full understanding of the procedures, methods and potential risks involved in participation. Research volunteers are encouraged to ask Avail&apos;s research staff any questions that they may have. They should also know they can remove themselves from the clinical trial at any point. <br />

      <title>Avail Clinical Research Is Now Enrolling for an Anxiety Clinical Trial in DeLand, FL</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The research team at Avail Clinical is looking for individuals who have been struggling with the symptoms of anxiety and would be interested in a research opportunity. This clinical trial will be providing new insights into how these conditions can best be diagnosed and treated.</p><p>DeLand, FL -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 02/16/2015 --  *Want to learn more about the clinical trials being conducted at Avail&apos;s clinic in DeLand? Check out the trial page online at www.availclinical.com/trial/anxiety or contact them directly at 386-785-2404.<br />
<br />
The Debilitating Effects of Anxiety<br />
<br />
Human beings deal with varying levels of anxiety at different times throughout their life. Unfortunately, the symptoms can become crippling under certain circumstances. Anxiety disorders (of which there are several) are the most common mental illnesses in this country. In fact, experts estimate that about 40 million Americans live with some form of anxiety.<br />
<br />
The symptoms of this condition can be drastically different from case to case. Some people may only experience a mild level of anxiety while others may be much more severe. <br />
<br />
In general, the following could all indicate anxiety to some degree:<br />
<br />
- Difficulty focusing on any task<br />
- Distracted quite easily<br />
- Restlessness<br />
- Feeling unusually on edge<br />
- Irritability<br />
- Impatience<br />
- Muscle tension<br />
- Excessive sweating<br />
- Shortness of breath<br />
- Insomnia and other sleep-related issues<br />
- Fatigue<br />
- Nausea<br />
- Headaches<br />
<br />
(For more information about anxiety disorders, please visit <a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.availclinical.com/clinical-trials/anxiety/" href="http://www.availclinical.com/clinical-trials/anxiety/">http://www.availclinical.com/clinical-trials/anxiety/</a>)<br />
<br />
Why Are Research Volunteers Needed?<br />
<br />
While there are a wide range of treatments available for this type of mental illness, experts say that only 1 in every 3 people with anxiety ever seek treatment. Clinical trials like the ones being conducted by Avail Clinical Research in Florida are providing psychologists with a better idea of how these conditions develop and what types of treatments will be most effective.<br />
<br />
Each person that participates in a clinical trial is helping more than they may ever know. Most modern therapies that are available for anxiety disorders wouldn&apos;t have been possible unless people had been willing to volunteer. Plus, qualified applicants may receive compensation for their time and any travel-related expenses that are incurred.<br />
<br />
Additional benefits for participants may include:<br />
<br />
- Gaining access to premium medical care free-of-charge<br />
- Receiving medical treatment without needing to have health insurance<br />
- Gaining the knowledge that they are taking a more direct role in their health care<br />
<br />
Study Qualification and Informed Consent<br />
<br />
Those who are interested in participating in a clinical trial need to understand that each one has its own set of enrollment criteria. This is an essential aspect that helps to ensure the principal investigators and their research teams are obtaining the most accurate data during the study. Adults who apply for enrollment at Avail&apos;s clinic will be screened by one of their friendly and experienced principal investigators.<br />
<br />
The other thing that should be understood before enrolling in a clinical trial is the purpose of the informed consent form (<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.availclinical.com/clinical-study/informed-consent/" href="http://www.availclinical.com/clinical-study/informed-consent/">http://www.availclinical.com/clinical-study/informed-consent/</a>). Each applicant must sign this form before they can participate in any way. It signifies that the research team has taken the time to inform each applicant about what their participation will entail (both the benefits and the risks). Volunteers also should know that they maintain the right to withdraw from a clinical trial at any point.<br />
<br />
Avail&apos;s Research Facility and Phase I Capabilities<br />
<br />
Avail maintains an impressive 14,500 square clinical research facility that is located right in the middle of DeLand&apos;s state-of-the-art medical community. The front door to their facility is only a short walk from the Florida Hospital. Fully equipped with an onsite-laboratory and the latest medical technology, this clinic also maintains full living and recreational facilities in order to keep their patients comfortable during their stay.<br />
<br />
Avail Clinical Research has the capabilities to execute on all major clinical trial phases, but it&apos;s their Phase I expertise that really sets them apart from other research centers in Florida. They can fully accommodate up to 50 overnight patients comfortably, and their <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="dedicated Phase I staff" href="http://www.availclinical.com/facilities/medical-staff/phase-i-team/">dedicated Phase I staff</a> will ensure that each one feels well taken care of. The upgraded unit makes them the ideal solution for both healthy and patient population trials.<br />
<br />
Sponsors and CRO&apos;s<br />
<br />
Looking for the perfect site to conduct a Phase I study? The initial stages in any new therapy&apos;s life cycle are so crucial, it can be really difficult to find a research clinic that inspires total confidence. Avail Clinical Research has all the technical capabilities and access to a diverse and engaged patient population that allows them to successfully execute the most intensive clinical trials.

      <title>Volunteers Are Needed for a Vaginal Dryness Clinical Trial at Avail Clinical Research</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The research staff at Avail Clinical is looking for women who are exhibiting the symptoms of vaginal dryness that would be interested in participating in a clinical study at their facility in DeLand, FL.  Volunteers will be helping the team evaluate new ways to relieve this all too common issue.</p><p>DeLand, FL -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 01/21/2015 --  *Interested in learning more about the clinical trials being conducted at Avail Clinical Research? Visit them on the web (<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.availclinical.com/trial/vaginal-dryness/" href="http://www.availclinical.com/trial/vaginal-dryness/">http://www.availclinical.com/trial/vaginal-dryness/</a>) or contact them directly at (386) 785-2404.<br />
<br />
Why Are Volunteers so Essential?<br />
<br />
This isn&apos;t a topic that many women feel comfortable talking about, not even to their doctors. Clinical research studies have shown that nearly 1 in every 3 women experience it while going through menopause, but inadequate lubrication can occur in women of all ages. This issue is often a red flag for vaginal atrophy-- a thinning and inflammation of the vaginal walls due to estrogen level decline. <br />
<br />
Each research volunteer plays an important role in helping to improve <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="modern treatment for vaginal dryness" href="http://www.availclinical.com/clinical-trials/vaginal-dryness/">modern treatment for vaginal dryness</a>. While modern therapies are effective, there are still a number of unwanted side effects that could eventually be eliminated. Qualified participants have been instrumental in helping to ensure greater excellence in the care provided to other postmenopausal women. <br />
<br />
The direct benefits of participating in a clinical trial include:<br />
- Access to premium medical care at no cost<br />
- Health insurance is not a requirement<br />
- Participants are compensated for their time and travel<br />
<br />
Symptoms of Vaginal Dryness<br />
<br />
Vaginal dryness is a condition that women tend to have a very difficult time discussing, but it can have a significant effect on sexual health and well-being if treatment is not sought. It can be accompanied by the following symptoms:<br />
- Itching or stinging sensations around the vagina<br />
- Soreness<br />
- Burning<br />
- Pain or even some bleeding after sexual intercourse<br />
- Frequent urinary tract infections<br />
<br />
Study Qualification and Informed Consent<br />
<br />
Research volunteers must be screened by the principal investigator before they can be enrolled into a clinical trial. Each one has it&apos;s specific set of inclusion criteria that is laid out in the study protocol. People who are interested are encouraged to spend time learning about how clinical trials are conducted and what is expected of a clinical trial participant. After that, they must submit a signed informed consent form to qualify. <br />
<br />
This is one of the last steps required before a volunteer can be enrolled and it is essential. Not only does it help ensure that participants understand the commitment they are making, but it also helps ensure that research teams keep their applicants informed of all study related procedures and visitations. Each participant is also told that they are free to withdraw from the clinical trial at any time they wish. <br />
<br />
Avail&apos;s Research Facility and Phase I Capabilities<br />
<br />
Located in DeLand, Florida, this state-of-the-art facility specializes in conducting intensive clinical trials for a variety of medical conditions including vaginal dryness, postmenopausal syndrome, hot flashes and more. Since being established in 1998, their experienced team has successfully conducted more than 800 clinical trials at this site. <br />
<br />
Following a recent expansion, the Avail research facility can now accommodate up to 50 overnight participants comfortably. This makes it one of the leading Phase I sites in the state of Florida. Their dedicated Phase I staff work very hard to ensure that participants feel comfortable and well taken care during their visitations. <br />
<br />
For Sponsors and CRO&apos;s<br />
<br />
Looking for the perfect site to conduct a Phase I study? The initial stages in any new treatment&apos;s life cycle are so important , most sponsors and CRO&apos;s find it challenging to find the right site for their study.

      <title>Avail Clinical Research Is Looking for Volunteers Who Would Like to Participate in a Constipation Research Study in DeLand, Florida</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Avail’s experienced researchers are looking for adults living with recurrent constipation willing to participate in a research study at their state-of-the-art facility. Volunteers will be helping the team evaluate new ways to relieve this all too common problem.</p><p>DeLand, FL -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 12/15/2014 --  *Anyone who is interested in learning more about the clinical trials being conducted in DeLand, FL can visit Avail Clinical Research on the web (<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.availclinical.com/trial/constipation/" href="http://www.availclinical.com/trial/constipation/">http://www.availclinical.com/trial/constipation/</a>) or contact them directly at (386) 785-2404.<br />
<br />
Why Are Volunteers so Essential?<br />
<br />
It&apos;s not something many people talk about, but about 80 percent of adults will experience some level of constipation over the course of their lives. For some it isn&apos;t anything too serious, but others may develop recurrent constipation that requires medical attention. This is often the case with people who are living with complicating conditions like <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)" href="http://www.availclinical.com/clinical-trials/irritable-bowel-syndrome-ibs/">irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)</a>.<br />
<br />
Chronic constipation impacts a large number of people in America and <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="new therapies can&apos;t be perfected without the aid of clinical trials" href="http://www.availclinical.com/news/new-drug-for-constipation/">new therapies can&apos;t be perfected without the aid of clinical trials</a>. The volunteers that take part in Avail&apos;s research studies play a first-hand role in helping to advance constipation medicine. Their participation has provided the insights required to identify many of the most prominent causes of this condition. <br />
<br />
The direct benefits of participating in a clinical trial include:<br />
- Access to premium medical care at no cost<br />
- Health insurance is not a requirement<br />
- Participants are compensated for their time and travel<br />
<br />
Symptoms of Chronic Constipation<br />
<br />
It&apos;s important to note that bowel habits will differ significantly from person to person. That being said, going more than three days without a single bowel movement often signifies constipation. The American College of Gastroenterology says that the following symptoms could indicate the presence of chronic constipation if any combination of these persists for more than 3 months:<br />
- Difficulty evacuating stool<br />
- Straining<br />
- Having less than 3 BMs in a single week<br />
- Stool that is hard or unusually lumpy<br />
- Abnormal levels of discomfort and bloating<br />
- Sensation of something blocking the bowel<br />
- Sensation that bowel is never completely evacuated<br />
<br />
Qualification and Informed Consent<br />
<br />
In order to qualify for a constipation research study, volunteers will be screened against a specific set of study requirements. This inclusion criteria is established by the study protocol and can vary depending on the type of trial being conducted. The <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="principal investigators at Avail" href="http://www.availclinical.com/facilities/medical-staff/physicians/">principal investigators at Avail</a> screen all applicants prior to enrollment. Participants are also required to submit a signed informed consent form before they can be accepted. <br />
<br />
This last step signifies the volunteer&apos;s written consent to adhere to all requirements laid out by the study protocol. The research staff is responsible for informing each applicant of the procedures, methods, risks and benefits of their participation prior to giving them the consent form. Each volunteer should also understand that they have the right to withdraw themselves from the study at any time. <br />
<br />
Avail&apos;s Facility and Phase I Capabilities<br />

      <title>Avail Clinical Research Is Enrolling Qualified Individuals to Participate in a Diabetes Clinical Trial in DeLand, Florida</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">The staff at Avail is looking for adults living with diabetes to take part in a new clinical study at Florida’s premier Phase I research site. Their research team is evaluating new treatments and therapies for this metabolic disorder.</p><p>DeLand, FL -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 11/18/2014 --  *Anyone who is interested in learning more about the clinical trials being conducted in DeLand, FL can visit Avail Clinical Research on the web (<a class="extlink"  rel="nofollow noopener"  target="_blank"  title="http://www.availclinical.com/trial/diabetes/" href="http://www.availclinical.com/trial/diabetes/">http://www.availclinical.com/trial/diabetes/</a>) or contact them directly at (386) 785-2404.<br />
<br />
Why Are Volunteers Needed?<br />
<br />
Currently, there are nearly 26 million people living with diabetes in the United States. Clinical studies have shown that this disease has a huge impact on this country both socially and economically. According to the American Diabetes Association, the total cost attributed to diabetes in 2012 was $245 billion-- a 41% hike from 2007. Volunteers for clinical trials are needed now more than ever.<br />
<br />
Diabetes is a complex condition and new treatments can&apos;t be perfected without the aid of clinical trials. Research volunteers at Avail in DeLand play a critical role in helping to advance the <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="treatment and understanding of diabetes" href="http://www.availclinical.com/trial/diabetes/">treatment and understanding of diabetes</a> and its potential complications. Their participation has been instrumental in helping ensure greater excellence in the care provided to others with diabetes.<br />
<br />
The direct benefits of participating in a clinical study include:<br />
Access to premium medical care at no cost<br />
Health insurance is not a requirement<br />
Participants are compensated for their time and travel<br />
<br />
Warning Signs for Diabetes<br />
<br />
Not knowing what to be wary of usually means people are completely oblivious <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="when diabetic symptoms present themselves" href="http://www.availclinical.com/news/5-signals-type-2-diabetes/">when diabetic symptoms present themselves</a>. It&apos;s not uncommon for people to go years before their condition is actually diagnosed. The following could all indicate the presence of diabetes: <br />
<br />
- Frequent urination<br />
- Abnormally thirsty and hungry<br />
- Unexplained weight loss<br />
- Chronic fatigue or malaise<br />
- Blurry vision<br />
- Dark patches of skin (known as acanthosis nigricans)<br />
<br />
Qualification and Informed Consent<br />
<br />
In order to qualify for a diabetes clinical trial, a person must first meet a specific set of study requirements. These will vary depending on the type of clinical trial being conducted. All applicants will be screened by one of Avail&apos;s experienced doctors. Also, individuals must be willing to <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="sign an informed consent form" href="http://www.availclinical.com/clinical-study/informed-consent/">sign an informed consent form</a> before they can be enrolled. <br />
<br />
This is an essential step that signifies the participant&apos;s voluntary consent to adhere to the requirements of the study protocol. Our staff will inform each individual of the procedures, methods, risks and benefits involved in participation before they are given the form. Participants are also informed that they have the right to withdraw from the clinical trial at any time. <br />
<br />
